COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONMany foods ignite our passions. Tastes so sophistacated and rich, they dance on the tongue and tantalize the palate so that we cannot help but be drawn into the magic of these flavours.
Superb beer, skillfully crafted from the best ingredients is one of these stimulating foods. Chocolate is another. Combining these flavours in just the right balance only serves to enhance their powers. The combination of chocolate and beer is sure to put a smile on your face.
Made by Rogue and for sale by Ezo Beer in Japan.

A: The pour is pretty much black in color with a small brown head that subsides to a thin ring around the glass.
S: Both milk and dark chocolate aroma fills the nose instantly. A really nice creaminess to it and a mild roastiness. Some sweet vanilla and caramel underneath to round out what is a very rich nose.
T: Sweet chocolate with an excellent creaminess, almost like a glass of chocolate milk. A mild bitterness from the roasted malt and some dark chocolate flavor. Toffee and caramel provide additional sweetness.
M: Medium to full in body with a very smooth and creamy feel on the tongue.
O: Despite a rather hefty ABV, this is a dangerously smooth beer that was very easy to drink.

UPDATED: FEB 4, 2011 Bottle shared by Homerwantsbeer. Pours a very dark brown color with a medium tan head that recedes steadily. Yummy chocolate and roasted malt aroma. Rich and smooth body with flavors of sweet milk chocolate, malt and marshmallows (thanks JaBier). The finish is chocolaty and sweet. Good beer that they should distribute here.

Deep black brown pour. Tan head. The nose is loaded with rich sweet milk chocolate. Loads of rich, sweet dark chocolate. Sweet and chewy but without any of the artificial sweetness that I get from ST Choklat. It’s actually a really 1-D beer, but that one dimension happens to be awesome.

UPDATED: OCT 10, 2013 Sample from a bottle shared by a kind soul at the 4/25 HOTD dock sale. Impenetrable dense black body with a small brown ring of a head. Intensely pungent fresh shaved bakers chocolate and pillowy cocoa. Rich and luscious texture, smooth, intensely decadent, malt-driven with a surprising and impressive fullness of body. Slightly chalky at times but not a detriment. The fresh semi-sweet semi-bitter dark chocolate quality is downright fantastic. This beer is legitimate.

12 oz bottle via a trade with Americanbrew. Shared with the Dallas Crew. Pours with a deep black body and a fading tan head. Body coats the glass when swirled. Smell is very much like ST’s Chokolat. Tons of milk chocolate, Hershey’s syrup, sugar and cocoa butter. Taste is not as good or as strong as the aroma had portrayed. Seltzer water mixed with cold "hot chocolate" and not much else. A bit of bitter chocolate on the back head. A bit too lively carbonation and a bit too dry for the style in my humble opinion. Very low in residual sweetness for a chocolate impy stout.

Bottled. Poured very close to black with a shortish cap of dark tan head. The aroma picked up a whole lot of mostly sweet, but some darker and smoky chocolates.. some vanilla too.. totally decadent. The flavor found similar stuff.. opened with tart, greener chocolate, with milk chocolate not far behind.. tart toward the finish with a little oxidation, alcohol warmth, and light soapy notes.. lots more chocolate after the swallow. Medium-plus bodied and quite sweet on the palate.. a bit smoky and tart too.. good feel and flow.. wish I could drink this again.
